- Just saying no to deer, with fencing [A Way to Garden]
I don’t have any problem with deer eating my (nonexistent) garden plants yet I found this post on deer fencing by Margaret Roach to be fascinating. It’s fairly long and is filled with information I’ll never have to use (well, hopefully, maybe, someday) but I couldn’t stop reading it.
- The-Dream, possibly the first SEO-optimized pop star
“You see, without the hyphen, ‘The Dream’ would have been almost impossible to find on Google or iTunes or YouTube before he got famous. In fact, unless you have a fairly distinctive (at least in English-speaking parts of the world) name like I do, this can be a common challenge. But I posit that the hyphenation of his name made him unique enough to be easily discoverable even before he had hit songs. Simply showing up when people are searching for music or videos is a pretty important part of getting your name out there if you want to be a big star.”
